Question: Who are you and
where are you from?
Answer: My name is Sheik Sani
Haliru. I am from Niger Republic,
but my mother is from Bornu
State of Nigeria and I grew up in
Wulari, Maiduguri, (Northern
Nigeria) where I was trained.
Q: Trained as what and under
whose tutelage?
A: I was trained as an Almajiri,
after four years, at the age of 14,
I was sent to Kano City, Kano
State where I was trained in the
Sheik Abubakar Gummi School
of Arabic studies.
Q: So you know Sheik Abubakar
Gummi?
A: Yes, and I also know his
children and obeyed all the
teachings he laid down before
he died.
Q: So who tutored you and who
is your mentor?
A: Sheik Abubakar Gummi
tutored me. My mentor was
Osama bin Laden, and until my
conversion from Islam to the
Christian faith, my dreams and
aspirations in life was to do more
than Osama bin Laden did
before he died on Sunday, May
1, 2011.
Q: You said that your mentor
was Osama bin Laden. Is he still
your mentor?
A: I am now a changed person.
The Sheik Sani Haliru is now a
new creature, old things have
passed away because I now have
Jesus Christ that I hated and
persecuted for 44 years.
Q: Tell me about your past and
how many countries of the
World you have been to?
A: I cannot tell all about my past
because it will take several days
to tell my story and about my
conversion experience to
Christianity. I have been to eight
countries.
Q: Can you please name them?
A: I have been to Sudan,
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen,
Libya, Somalia, Egypt and of
course to my own country Niger
Republic.
Q: Where did you receive your
training and as what?
A: I received my training in Libya
and Pakistan as an Attack
Strategist. I was trained along
side with some highly placed
Nigerians and other foreign
Nationals who were marked (he
showed me the proof of his
mark with a sign) in the form of
a sword in the hand to fight and
kill for Allah.
Q: Can you give me some of the
names of your colleagues with
whom you received training in
Libya and Pakistan?
A: They are scattered all over the
country and we were not too
many then.
Q: Just mention but a few
names.
A: Ali Baba Nur, Asari Dokubo,
Jasper Akinbo, Mohammed
Yusuf, Salisu Maigari, Danlami
Abubakar, Cletus Okar, Ali
Qaqa, Maigari Haliru and Asabe
Dantala to mention but a few.
Q: Which of the Asari’s do you
mean?
A: The Niger Delta war king. He
was a year ahead of me in
Benghazi training camp in Libya.
Q: Who financed your training in
Libya and Pakistan?
A: You will not believe me and
only God will judge the Chief
sponsor of terrorism in Nigeria
whose name I will not mention
because he is so powerful and
even the president of Nigeria,
Goodluck Jonathan, is so much
afraid of the man.
Q: If you really know the Christ
in you, why are you afraid to tell
me the name of the man who
sponsored you and the date or
approximate period he
sponsored you.
A: I am not afraid because he
knows me and he cannot deny it
if he sees me face to face.
Q: Then tell me, who is this
powerful man?
A: The man is no other person
than the man they call IBB now
as I am talking to you, General
Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has
more than 600 men and women
Jihadists who are under his pay
role. They are scattered all over
the Country and he (IBB) can
use them to destroy Nigeria.
Q: Did you say six hundred?
A: Yes 600 + IBB’s agents of
destruction are in the Nigeria
Army (NA), Nigeria Police Force
(NPF), Navy, Air Force, Oil and
Gas sectors, even in the finance
home such as in top level
positions of CBN (Central Bank
of Nigeria) and other banks. You
find them in politics, in the
Senate, National Assembly, in the
media both print and electronic
and even in Aso Rock, Abuja
(Nigeria’s capital).
Q: How do you mean by this
statement “and even in the
finance…”?
A: Yes, I mean every word I say;
even the Islamic bank champion
was planted by IBB to help in
Islamizing Nigeria.
Q: So how can you describe IBB?
A: IBB is a “green snake” in
green grass. He is the main
problem of Nigeria along with
members of the Cabal.
Q: Have you forwarded any of
these evidence(s) to Aso Rock or
to SSS (State Security Services)?
A: I attempted to do so a few
weeks ago and I was arrested
and detained for two days
because IBB’S men are so many
in SSS (State Security Services) as
well. After I was released by the
grace of God, they (the Police)
warned me never to blow up the
polity or provoke violence and I
should keep my so-called-born-
again with me or else I will go to
jail.
Q: So you were a key member
and a registered jihadist
hardliner.
A: Yes, I was.
Q: Under what group?
A: I was a Boko Haramist. But
Boko Haram is just a cover name
to give it a name. I have my
identity as a founding member of
the dreaded jama’aful Ahlul
sunna wal Liddawati wal Jihad,
aka Boko Haram.
Q: Apart from IBB, who are the
other top sponsors of terrorism
in this country?
A: They are many, but IBB is the
major financier. He introduced
the suicide bombing that started
when he killed Dele Giwa. I have
the names of six traditional
rulers and seven present & ex-
Governors as well as several top
military and security officers who
are co-sponsoring the so called
Boko Haram. That apart, I have
documented evidences to prove
that General Mohammadu
Buhari, Alhaji Abubaka Atiku and
other top politicians and
traditional rulers are some of the
people behind Boko Haram.
Very soon, nemesis will catch up
with them.
Q: What if I use my influence to
guarantee you safety, can you
brief the press to expose IBB
(General Ibrahim Badamosi
Babangida) with all these
documents that I am seeing with
you right now.
A: Only God can guarantee my
safety. He did so on that fateful
day when the SSS and police
wanted to secretly kill me
because of what I unveiled. I
would have been a dead man by
now if not for a man of God
who came as an “Angel” to
quietly free me. Right now, I am
wanted dead or alive by IBB and
his agents of destruction in high
places. The SSS are busy hunting
for me up & down and arresting
and torturing innocent people
because of me.
Q: What if I connect you to a
man of God by the name of
Brother Mike Ejiofor, who is a
lawyer, a professional negotiator
and a mediator who was the
Director of SSS until October
2010?
A: I only wish to be connected to
God.
Q: So how can you describe this
country?
A: Nigeria is sifting under an
Islamic barbaric bomb (IBB).
Only God can rescue this nation
because 75% of Christians are
prayer less. Why? Because they
are in their own comfort zone.
They do not know what the
Christians in Northern Nigeria
are passing through and they
ignorantly are thinking that the
Allah of the Muslims is the same
as the God of Christians in the
Holy Bible who says: “Thou shalt
not kill”.
Q: What does the Qur’an say
about Islam being referred to as
a religion of peace by numerous
Muslim scholars?
A: Let me tell you in a very clear
language that Islam is not a
religion of peace, but it is of
violence, of killers and fighters as
already stated in their so called
“Holy” Qur’an which I ignorantly
followed all these years when I
was spiritually blinded as a
Muslim.
Q: Can you prove these
statements from the Qur’an?
A: [Sani Haliru, who is now
known as Solomon Haliru (Paul
Haliru’s brother)] brought out
two copies of the original Qur’an
in the Arabic & English
translation. He gave me one, and
told me to open the book to
Surah Al- baqarah chapter 2 vs
216. It says, “Holy fighting is
ordained (prescribed) for all
muslims, whether they like it or
not, as far as it is good and
approved by Allah through his
prophet Mohammed.”
Q: Where is it in the Qur’an that
killing is also permitted by Allah?
A: Look at Surah Al-baqarah
chapter 2 vs 191 “And kill them
wherever you find them, and
turn them out from where they
have turned you out. An Al-
Fitnah is worse than killing. And
fight not with them at Al-Masjid-
Al-Haram (the sanctuary at
Makkah), unless they (first) fight
you there. But if they attack you,
then kill them. Such is the
recompense of the disbelievers.”
Muslims are told to kill and fight
in the cause of Allah.
Q: Does it mean that IBB and all
these Muslim traditional rulers
and Governors that are
sponsoring Boko Haram to kill
Christians and burn our
churches in the North are not
aware of the passage in the
Qur’an that says there must not
be compulsion in Islam as
Mohammadu Buhari asserted in
a widely publicized interview on
Saturday, the 21st of April, 2011?
A: I have worked so closely with
Mohammadu Buahri for five
years, and I can prove it that
General Buhari is the most
notable outspoken jihadist
hardliner in Nigeria who is also
strategically sponsoring Boko
Haram.
Q: General Buhari told a group
of pressmen in April 2011 that
there is no compulsion in Islam
and it is a religion of peace. He
quoted Surah Al-Baqarah
Chapter 2:225. What can you say
to that?
A: What I can say to that is
General Buhari, like all other
true Muslims, is a hypocrite who
is shying away from the fact.
Q: How do you mean by saying
that most Muslim millionaires
and highly placed Muslims are
“pretenders and shying away
from the fact”?
A: What I mean is that they
(Muslims-both rich and poor)
are told to use their position of
wealth (or otherwise) to promote
Islam or else they will face
destruction from Allah.
Q: Where can you find this in the
Qu’ran?
A: Open Surah Al-Baqarah
Chapter 2:195, it is written here
that you must use your wealth to
champion Jihad of all kinds or
else destruction is waiting for
such a person on the last day.
“And spend in the Cause of
Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and
do not throw yourselves into
destruction (by not spending
your wealth in the Cause of
Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah
loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-
doers).”
Q: Have you ever been detained
or arrested?
A: Nobody could arrest me until
the year 2009 soon after my
immediate boss Mohammed
Yusuf was killed. About 23 of us
were arrested in one of our
hideouts in Bauchi. But when
Governor Isa Yagiuda heard
about it, he immediately
arranged for me to be free. Even
before his official broadcast in
2010 that he was using his
position as the executive
Governor of Bauchi State
(Northern Nigeria) to free 28
prisoners from Bauchi Central
Prison, I was already a free man
along with several of my
colleagues.
Q: Now can you tell me some of
the horrible crimes that you
committed and how you got
born again and became
converted.
A: Old things have passed away
and I don’t want to talk about
the past, because like Apostle
Paul said, we need to press
forward in Christ Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith.
Q: Just mention a few to assist
some of us who are making
efforts to unravel the mystery of
the menace called Boko Haram
which you have renounced.
A: I took part in the Kaduna riot
of 1992 and in several northern
states of Nigeria, but the state I
operated more from was Bornu
(northern Nigeria) where I was
the State Commander/Chief
Strategist.
Q: So as Chief Attack Strategist,
what crimes have or did you
commit before you renounced
the deadly sect?
A: In the early months of May
1986, I was among the 36 Jihadist
hardliners, who went on a
rampage to attack Christian
students of the University of
Sokoto (Sokoto State in northern
Nigeria). In that same week, the
Federal Government of Nigeria
under the brutal leadership of
IBB mobilized us and provided
some military vans and Army
uniforms which our men used
and started killing innocent and
defenseless Christians all over
the Northern states. I and the
son of the Emir of Kano, who is
now a Christian by name Rev.
Paul Ado Bayero, were among
the Muslim fanatics who razed
down the sculpture of Jesus at
the University of Ibadan (Oyo
State in western Nigeria).
The following year, March 5,
1987 to be very precise, the “Evil
Genius” General Ibrahim
Badamosi Babangida secretly
armed us through one of his
close aids by the name of
Captain Hassan Abubakar (now
a Pastor with a fast growing
church in Lagos). We went to go
and kill some targeted Christians
including Rev. Nuhu Kure
(Throne room founder) after the
destruction we committed at the
College of Education in
Kafanchan, Kaduna State (North
Central Nigeria). And of recent, I
was the leader of the team of
soldiers of Allah that destroyed
Church buildings and properties
in Bornu State (northern Nigeria)
.
Q: Can you name some of the
buildings and Churches you and
your Boko Haramists destroyed?
A: There are many, but our main
targets which we succeeded in
destroying included: Goodnews &
ECWA Church, Damboa Road,
Maiduguri E.Y.N.L.C.C. Wulari,
National Evangelical Mission Inc.
Divisional Headquarters Wulari,
Elijah Apostolic Christ Church,
Oke Ayo Celestial Church of
Christ, Deeper Life Bible Church,
the Lord’s Chosen and six others
in Railway Area and all over
Wulari in Maiduguri, Borno
State. Other church buildings we
destroyed and looted include the
Aposotic Church, COCIN Church,
Evangelical Church/Mission
Headquarters, Anglican Church,
Baptist Church/Mission,
Redeemed Christian Church of
God, El-Shaddai Parish,
Watchman Charismatic and
several others.
Q: Where were the security
officers when you were
destroying all these church
buildings and killing Christians?
A: Since 1985 when General
Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida
(IBB) started using us to
persecute Christians, the Nigerian
Army has been an extension or
shall I say an arm of the Muslims
agenda to Islamize Nigeria.
Wherever they go to attack
Christians, the Muslims in the top
military positions give the cover
by providing the logistics. Since
the day of Babangida (1985)
Christians suffer violence. This is
the time that we must attack
them and take what belongs to
us by force.
Q: You don’t seem to like IBB
and you talk so much of his evil
deeds. Are you the only one he
used or is there more revelation
we can investigate or ascertain
further?
A: Babangida is the most wicked
and heartless man I have ever
seen or worked with. He used
many Muslim fanatics (Most of
who are now Christians) to
commit a lot of atrocities. For
example, he used Alhaji Sannusi
Dasuki (now Solomon Dasuki),
Alhaji Ahmed Ado Bayero (now
Rev. Paul Ado Bayero), Alhaji
Mohammed Usman (now
Evangelist Blessed Usman), Alhaji
Sani Jegga (now Isaac Jegga) to
attack the following men of God:
Late Papa Idahosa, Evangelist
Reinhard Bonnke, Rev. Uma
Ukpai, Rev. O. Ezekiel and other
men of God. He used some of
the people whose names
mentioned above to burn down
several million copies of the Holy
Bible. Along with the late MKO
Abiola, they both sponsored the
sinking of three million copies of
the Holy Bible into the high sea.
Q: With all these revelations,
can’t IBB be arrested and
charged to court?
A: Who will arrest him? Is it
Goodluck or who? Even when
we provided the proofs to them
that IBB killed Dele Giwa and
that he sponsored the burning
and looting of the Jos main
market (Terminus) and also
planted the seed of the present
crises in Plateau State in 1991,
they refused to arrest him
because he is very cunning in his
evil ways. He leaves no trace of
his evil deeds, but nemesis will
soon catch up with him because
the sardonic spirit in him will
soon expire.
Q: In a simple language, how
can you describe IBB?
A: Ibrahim Babangida is a wicked
and heartless man. As a military
officer he was very brutal and as
a politician he is very selfish and
tricky. He better repent and
confess his numerous sins and
wickedness before it will be too
late.
Q: Can you prove to the readers
that fighting and killing in the
name of Allah is justified in the
Holy Qur’an?
A: I can site more than 28
passages from the Holy Qur’an
where fighting and killing is
justified as approved in the cause
and for the sake of Allah. Please
turn to the Qur’an (it goes from
the back to the front) and see
the book Surah At-Taubah
Chapter 9:29 “Fight against those
who believe not in Allah, nor in
the Last Day, nor forbid that
which has been forbidden by
Allah and His Messenger
(Muhammad), and those who
acknowledge not the religion of
truth (i.e Islam) among the
people of the Scripture (Jews
and Christians), until they pay
the Jizyah with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued.” In
this passage, every true Muslim
(s) is specifically instructed to
fight against four (4) groups of
people especially the Jews and
Christians.
Q: So what is the meaning of
Jizyah and how was the name
coined?
A: From the footnote as you can
see in the Qur’an, Jizyah is a tax
levied against the people of the
scriptures (i.e. the Christians)
who are under the Islamic
government. Jizyah was coined
out after the Jaiz bank that the
Muslims are wanting to use to
take over the financial world via
Islamic Banking.
Q: Are you saying indirectly that
Islam is not a religion of peace as
most Muslims will want us to
believe?
A: I am saying it directly not
indirectly that Islam is a religion
of violence It is a religion of
force. More than 95% of Nigerian
journalists and people of the
world are ignorant of what the
Qur’an teaches and/or says
about Islam and violence.
Q: How do you mean?
A: Open the Qur’an to Surah
Muhammad Chapter 47:4. In this
very passage, Muslims are
commanded by Allah to kill and
smite the neck of anyone who
does not accept the teaching of
Islam, and according to the
satanic verses they (Muslims)
would be helping Allah by so
doing.
I quote exactly as it is written in
the Muslims Holy Qur’an: “So,
when you meet (in fight-Jihad in
Allah’s Cause) those who
disbelieve, smite (their) necks till
when you have killed and
wounded many of them, then
bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e.
take them as captives).
Thereafter (is the time) either for
generosity (i.e. free from them
without ransom), or ransom
(according to what benefits
Islam), until the war lays down its
burden. Thus [you are ordered
by Allah to continue in carrying
out Jihad against the disbelievers
till they embrace Islam and are
saved from the punishment in
the Hell-fire or at least come
under your protection], but if it
had been Allah’s Will, He Himself
could certainly have punished
them (without you). But (He lets
you fight) in order to test some
of you with others. But those
who are killed in the Way of
Allah, He will never let their
deeds be lost.”
Q: So is that why all Muslims are
indirectly supporting Boko
Haram?
A: Yes, Boko Haram is just a
name coined by satan to Islamize
the world. That is why every true
Muslim is directly and indirectly
supporting Boko Haram.
Q: Can you explain further?
A: In Surah Al-Baqarah 2:195,
the wealthy Muslims and all
those in high position of
authority such as IBB, Buhari,
Atiku, Isa Yaguda, etc. are told to
use their wealth and any position
they find themselves in to
promote Islam and the cause of
jihad of all kinds or else they will
face destruction from Allah.
Q: Is that how the suicide
bombers come into the picture?
A: Yes,
Q: My readers will like to know
from the Qur’an if Islam is the
zenith of wickedness as you
earlier said.
A: In the Qur’an Allah
commanded thus “(Remember)
when your Lord revealed to the
angels, Verily, I am with you, so
keep firm those who have
believed. I will cast terror into
the hearts of those who have
disbelieved, so strike them over
the necks, and smite over all
their fingers and toes.” (See the
Qur’an of Surah Al-Anfal 8:12)
Q: So you did accordingly?
A: Yes! Satan used Buhari and
Tunde Bakare, the false prophet,
to smite the necks and chop off
the fingers and toes of several
Christians in Zaira, Maiduguri,
Bauchi and several other places.
Q: Which passages say that the
Christians are enemies of the
Muslims? Some ignorant
Christian leaders and pressmen
are of the opinion that both
Christians and Muslims worship
the same God.
A: Christians and journalists
(about 95%) are very ignorant.
Let them search the original
Qur’an (The Noble Qur’an). The
more the Muslim leaders try to
block the original Qur’an from
circulation, the more the lie
spreads that we’re serving the
same God. That is why the Lord
says “I will build my church; and
the gates of (hades) hell shall
not prevail against it.” Matthew
16:18
Q: Mention another satanic verse
that makes every true Muslim(s)
to hate Christians.
A: In addition to the several
passages and mentioned earlier,
please take a look at Surah An-
Nisa 4:101 and I quote “For the
Unbelievers are unto you open
enemies.”
Q: What is the solution to this
problem of the Boko Haram
menace?
A: The problem is not Boko
Haram. The problem is the Spirit
of Islam which must be crushed
by the prayer of the Saints. Was
it not through prayer that
people like Rev. Paul Ado
Bayero, Bishop K. K. Degaya,
Apostle Johnson Suleman and
hundreds of others got saved?
Was it not through prayer that I
got saved on my way to
assassinate both Rev. Samuel
Dasuki and Evangelist Blessed
Usman when they were in their
training camp in a crusade/
ministration to their converts? I
tell you from my experience this
past few months as a Christian,
many Christians are not united.
In the north Christians are more
united and sincere, but in the
south & west, Christians are in
comfort zones and if they don’t
wake up, they will be surprised
of what Muslims will do to them.
Q: What can Muslims do in
Warri, Port Harcourt and other
southern and western zones?
A: Look let me tell you one top
secret. Before I repented, an
average of 2,500 Muslim fanatics
came to Delta State every
month, 2,000 to the Eastern
states and 2,000 to Cross River
State and 2,500 to other zones.
All of these Muslim fanatics were
sent in preparation of the holy
war (Jihad).
Q: Where are they camped?
A: In various Mosques and
Islamic training schools which
they use as training camps at
odd hours (—for security
reasons, the author/interviewer
have decided not to publish the
other details of this answer in
print).
Q: What advice do you have for
Christians in the comfort zones?
A: Pray for our Christian
brethren in the north. Secondly,
stop giving your ladies to
Muslims. Thirdly, do no sell your
land to a Muslim any longer.
Fourth, do not employ them as
security men. Fifth, beware of
what they do with your finger
nails and hair. Finally, watch
them carefully and be very
prayerful because Nigeria is
sitting on an Islamic barbaric
bomb (IBB) and the Muslims are
prepared to fight you in your
backyard.
Q: Any advice for the president?
A: They are desperate to get
him/his family by kidnap/killing
them, not only by Spiritual
means, but through some well
trained security men who he
think can never disappoint him.
About six suicide bombers are in
the presidency and one of them
is a student from NDA-Nigerian
Defence Academy (other details I
am keeping for security reasons).
Q: Do you know anything about
bombing?
A: In answer to this question, I
shall give you a top secret
document which is supposed to
be for only committed Muslims
which I smuggled out and gave
to some Christian leaders in the
south.
Q: But tell me a little of how
they got the knowledge to
manufacture a bomb? Who
sponsored your people to do
these wicked acts?
A: We were sponsored by the
man they call IBB and some top
Muslims within and outside the
country. We also worked hand in
hand with Al Qaeda. As far back
as 12th of June, 2011 when I got
converted to Christianity, I gave
several documents to Police and
SSS. They arrested and detained
me. But the Holy Spirit released
me the same day that they
wanted to kill me secretly by
poisoning.
Q: What secrets did you give
them?
A: I told them that the Muslims
are using trailer and vehicles in
military colour and are escorted
by northern soldiers to smuggle
weapons to various mosques and
Islamic training schools in Aba,
Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Owerri,
Calabar, Sapele, Warri, Ebonyi
and Enugu States, etc.
Q: What about the bomb
manufacturers?
A: I told them that the
Traditional Rulers in the
northern part of Nigeria and
many state governors in the far
north are sponsoring Boko
Haram. I told them that I was
paid a deposit of 5 million Naira
to go and bomb NDA in the
month of August 2011 when
they will be planning the
graduation that just took place
where I would have driven
straight to the Commander’s
Office with a covering letter from
a Garrison Officer commander
whose name I gave to the police
and who is a close relative to
IBB.
Q: Did you give the name of the
bomb location where the
training is going on?
A: Yes, I gave them and told
them where they were training
65 new Islamic Youths in two
bomb factories in Bauchi, Bornu
and Niger states and also the
bomb factory at Hanyan
Nassarawa Iku, Niger State.
Q: Any more revelation?
A: Yes, I gave them many bomb
factories even in the southern
and eastern states and seven in
Kaduna State, Plateau State and
Abuja. It was in the Niger State
bomb factory that we
manufactured the improvised
explosive devices that was used
to operate in Abuja on October
1, 2010.
Q: Did the police take immediate
action?
A: The news leaked to IBB
immediately and he immediately
instructed his ground soldiers to
relocate the bombs. The Police
and SSS were afraid to search
some of the mosques because
the presidency must be aware
that by so doing, the country
Will explode into a religious war
between Christians and Muslims.
That is why I said Nigeria is sitting
on Islamic time bomb or shall I
say Islamic Barbaric Bomb.
